The Hanover house that led the week was built in 1930 by an owner of the Schmuck Lumber Company, has had only three owners since, and conveys with its original blueprints and a separate historic log home on the same 24 acres. It sold for $1 million on September 1, one of five home sales reported in the York, Pennsylvania metro area for the week ending September 6, 2026 that combined for $4.26 million.
The five sales span Hanover, York and Druck Valley. Custom construction and acreage run through the list, which also includes an all-brick rancher on 3.44 acres, a Stoltzfus-built house on 6.10 acres and a rustic-contemporary residence heated and cooled by dual geothermal systems.
No. 1 — $1,000,000 · 51 High Rock Rd N, Hanover, Pennsylvania
A three-bedroom house on 24 acres in Hanover sold for $1 million, ranking No. 1 among reported home sales in the York metro area for the week. The transaction closed on September 1, 2026. The main house dates to 1930 and carries a reported 2,592 square feet, and the land holds a second, older residence.
Listing materials identify the builder as an owner of the Schmuck Lumber Company, and the original blueprints go with the sale. A family room with a traditional fireplace takes in tree views from every window, an adjoining sunroom has served as office, library and playroom, and a wooden staircase rises from the center foyer hall. The formal dining room keeps a chandelier, chair rail, crown molding and built-in corner cabinets, and the kitchen pairs updated appliances with a large island holding an induction cooktop. The primary bedroom upstairs has a dressing room with a three-way mirror.
The acreage takes in woods, a large native pollinator meadow, two ponds and perennial gardens that flower from the end of March through fall. A stone path from the rear patio leads to a six-sided screened gazebo in the woods, overlooking the larger pond, and a whole-house generator serves the main house. The historic log home measures approximately 1,100 square feet, separate from the main house figure, with an updated kitchen, two bedrooms, a full bathroom and its own two-car garage.
The property previously changed hands for $425,000 in 1998. Ellen Brown of RE/MAX Quality Service, Inc. was the listing agent, placing her on the listing side of the highest-priced home sale reported in the York metro area for the week.

No. 4 — $785,000 · 3701 Trout Run Rd, York, Pennsylvania
The fourth-ranked sale, an all-brick saltbox-style house on 5.5 acres in the Druck Valley area of York, brought $785,000 in its first time on the market. The August 31, 2026 closing ended a single family’s ownership of a house they had built in 1986. It has four bedrooms and a reported 2,909 square feet, set back a long driveway.
The plan puts a primary suite and a separate private guest suite on the first floor.

The lower level is finished for games or exercise and includes extra kitchen space for canning, and a three-bay garage carries a full second-story workshop. The roofs were redone in 2009 with 50-year shingles, the heating system was upgraded in 2025 to a four-zone propane-fired hot water design, and the original septic system was replaced with a modern peat tank filtering system.
The property closed at its full asking price. It previously changed hands for $26,000 in 1985, before the current residence was completed in 1986. Mark Roberts of Inch & Co.
